Victoria and Albert Museum

V&Aミュージアムでやっている
クラフトワークに焦点をあてた現代アートの展示会。
前評判とおり、なかなかいい展示会でした。
達郎君、潤平君、桂子。皆でわいわい。
去年、偶然、桂子に見つけられなかったら
こうして皆と会わなかったかもな、と思うとなんだか感慨深い。
異国でこうして顔を合わせるってのは、なんだか特別な気持ちになります。

　> Out of the Ordinary: Spectacular Craft brings
　> together the work of eight contemporary artists
　> who place craft at the heart of their practice:
　> Olu Amoda, Catherine Bertola, Annie Cattrell, Susan Collis,
　> Naomi Filmer, Lu Shengzhong, Yoshihiro Suda and Anne Wilson.
　> Collectively these artists use a diverse range of traditional
　> and new technologies, from carving, sewing, welding to animation
　> and laser etching. Working with exceptional skill
　> and attention to detail, they use ordinary materials –
　> paper, thread, dust and nails –
　> to make works that are both intricate and large in scale.
　> All the artists are preoccupied with the everyday as a subject.
　> Mundane or familiar things, like a paint splatter on a dust sheet,
　> a human breath or a weed pushing up through a crack,
　> are presented in playful and unexpected ways.
　> Look closely or you might miss them!
　> Together, these eight artists suggest new directions
　> for the handmade in the 21st century.
　> They have found ways to transform the ordinary
　> into artworks that are truly extraordinary.
